Mary Guiliano, the Mayor of Fernie, was selected by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) to receive a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal in honour of the contributions she has made to her community and to all of Canada. On Tuesday, February 12th at a Regular Council meeting Mary was presented the medal by Fernie’s CAO Jim Hendricks on behalf of the Governor General of Canada.
Mary’s peers in local government and we as a community admire her accomplishments as a community leader, and congratulate her on earning this prestigious award.
FCM chose Mary to receive this distinction for her exemplary efforts to make her community a great place to live. It recognizes the important role municipalities – and their elected leaders – play in ensuring prosperity and a high quality of life.
The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal honours significant contributions and achievements by Canadians. During the year of celebrations, 60,000 deserving Canadians will be recognized. The medal was created by the Government of Canada to mark Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s 60 years of service to this country.
On behalf of the citizens of Fernie and the Elk Valley, we congratulate Mary for her continued contribution to the community.
